So you clicked "new game", and now you're with 2 adult dakotaraptors and probably several other babby dakotaraptors.

Don't get attached, they will just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ die.

Your parents, just like mine, will completely ignore you. If you don't keep up, they will leave you behind. At the moment, they aren't much use, but it's good to follow them around for a little bit as a food source.
Kill your siblings, they'll just be competition later, and with your parents eating all the lizards, you don't have a chance of getting a bite anyway.

Don't kill your parents, they'll probably ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ die anyway and give you even more food.
Corpses mysteriously dissapear after some time, so don't kill too excessively.
You probably aren't hungry, but if you are, press "E". The green scent indicates that one of those lizard ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ are nearby. Wait until they're standing still and then try to kill them.
You can also try and hunt some aryan avian ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Easy enough, just sprint straight at them and hope that you get them before they fly off like the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ they are.

If you see any other animals that aren't trikes, pachys or furry ostriches, just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ run. If you know that you can't outrun something, climb the nearest tree. It's still best to outrun something if you can, because otherwise you may become trapped up there.


If you need to go near water, dont be an idiot. Look both ways and check for those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nasty crocodile things.

You can't drink salt water. You know that huge amount of blue water by a beach that goes into the horizon, which your stupid @ss should know is the sea? Yeah, you can't drink it, dumbass. I definitely didn't learn this from experience, shut up mom.


If you managed to follow all of that, you're a juvenile. Congratulations, now the real game begins.

Now you're only one of the smallest dinosaurs, congratulations.
If you didn't move away from your parents before you aged up, you've probably ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ died.

You can pounce now, but there isn't really much point.


You see this smug @ss ♥♥♥♥♥♥? This is an acheroraptor.

These guys would have killed you as a babby, but now you're supposed to be competing with each other for lizards or some ♥♥♥♥. Really, you're just hunting them.
Lizards are a middle finger to anyone who isn't as fast or agile as them... like you.
Honestly, it's not really worth the time or eye strain trying to hunt those glorified ballsacks down, so stick to acheroraptors.
You might ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ die if you're a bit stupid, but so will they.

Killing them is ez. Just bite their @ss until they try to walk off, bite their @ss some more... done. Try and stay away from the mouth. They'll fill up your hunger bar many times, but remember that their corpse will time out eventually.

Of course, if you're very hungry and your health is low or you can't find any acheroraptors, get some lizards or boner butte bird using the same strategies as a hatchling.

If you see any babby dakotas, eat them too. Other squeakers won't be aggressive, but I wouldn't try and hunt them in case you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ die. Only real predators you have are traitorous bastards (older dakotas), crocodile ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and rexes.

Make sure to avoid the thicc lizards, they will still be dangerous to you.
Rexes don't really care about you, but you should keep your distance anyway.
Don't attack pachys, you'll ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ die.

If you did all that right, you're a sub adult now, and you need to start thinking about your future and your career.

You remember these scaly tw@ts, right?
If you see one on land, you can make them ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ die.

They turn as fast as a stoned slug, so just bite their stupid @ss and you'll be fine.
If you meet one in the water, you'll still ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ die. ROAD SAFETY. LOOK LEFT AND RIGHT.

If you're really hungry, you can lure one out of the water. They're pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid, after all.

You can still kill acheroraptors, just this time it'll be easier. Squeakers are up for grabs too now, but don't attack subadults, you'll ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ die.
Don't attack pachys unless you want to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ die. You will be able to kill them, but you're more likely to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ die. The same goes for furry ostriches;
Now you have a chance of killing them, but you'll probably still ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ die. Not worth it.

Rexes won't care about you that much, but don't breathe within half a mile of them, to be on the safe side. They have a boyfriend.
Don't worry though, one day, in a future patch, you'll get to kill their babies.

Don't bother at all with those lizard ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, they'll hardly fill up your hunger bar. Although if you're starving, they're better than ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dying. The thicc ones will be worth something, but you should be cautious, because their bite is as toxic as The Isle community.

You can use F to threaten something. Don't do this to anything bigger than you, you'll ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ die. If you just want something small to piss off, this is useful.

Look at you, all grown up. You're really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fluffy now, you cute ♥♥♥♥♥.

You can kill those hard headed c*nts now, lucky you! I mean, they'll also kill you.
Don't go near one you don't intend to kill, or you'll ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ die. They kind of hate you now.

You should pounce those bastards. You'll probably aim like an obese sheep with parkinsons when you first try it, but you'll get used to it. Aim for the side. That @ss might look juicy, but it ain't for you.
M2 to balance, spam M1 to make that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bleed.

To finish them off, ignore what I just said, and bite their @ss off like there's no tomorrow. You might be horny, but trust me, right now, you do not want head. They do a metric f*cktonne of damage, watch out.

You can deploy the same strategy for furry ostriches. However, these can be harder to hunt, because they hang around in gangs like the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ they are. Try and isolate one member of the flock. If the flock turns on you, I hope you've unlocked your running shoes, because otherwise you'll ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ die.


Again, don't bother attacking rexes or trikes. Avoid scaly water tw@ts unless they're scaly land tw@ts , as well as other big boys. The rest is food for you.

At age 11, you become a "super adult".
Your looks won't change but you'll become as metaphorically bulky as Dwayne Johnson on steroids. At that point, you can attack the other big boys, or even go for trikes if you're feeling lucky. You'll still probably ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ die. You can perhaps try a rex for the screenshot if you want.

Have fun not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dying, ♥♥♥♥♥.


If this guide helped you spiritually and/or emotionally, give it a thumbs up to help boost my overinflated ego.
Updates to this guide after patches might be a few days late because I am very busy trying to balance personal life, work and education a worthless lazy ♥♥♥♥.
In the future, this guide will be updated to include all playable species.
